Final answer:

VLANs do not require physical reconfiguration of cables when moving a computer from one switch port to another as they are setup through the switch's software.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is false that a VLAN requires a computer manager to reconfigure the physical cables if a computer is moved from one port to another on a switch. VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) are configured through software and allow for network segmentation without the need for physical relocation of cables. A VLAN configuration is accomplished within the switch's software, enabling devices to be grouped by logical function rather than their physical location.
